A Great Reminder of What Our Country has Gone Through In "Patriot's Day"

While we may not want to remember the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013, or recall that the entire city of Boston was paralyzed for some time. Patriot's Day is worth seeing to remind us all what people of the United States have gone through, not to mention how resilient and patriotic American's are. Usually, I don't put in a plug for the actors in the films I talk about. However, Mark Wahlberg did such a tremendous job portraying a Boston Police Officer that he deserves to be recognized for this work. Especially, when you learn that his character is the composition of two real (not made up) Boston Officers, one a detective, and one a uniformed officer. Thank you both for your service. And thank you Mr. Wahlberg for your portrayal. Two scenes in the movie really chocked me up. One scene, where an officer stood over the body of an 8 year old boy. When the boy's body was finally transported to the morgue all of the officers, including the officer that watched over him for hours, saluted him as the ambulance drove away. The second, was when one of the marathon runners, that lost his leg,  returned to run the  marathon a couple of years after the attack. This is a movie worth your time and money. Go and see it, then come back and lets chat.
